The American Future Fund (AFF), a shadowy right-wing attack ad group that does not identify its donors, was responsible for one of the most racially offensive ads of the 2010 cycle. But its latest online ad, “Thank You Senator McConnell,” may be one of the 2012 cycle’s most ridiculous.

The 80-second spot features images of the nation’s Founding Fathers, American troops on D-Day, anti-government protesters wielding “Don’t Tread On Me” flags, and a clip of Sen.

From Henry Wallace's 1944 warning about the Dangers of American Fascism:

"A fascist is one whose lust for money or power is combined with such an intensity of intolerance toward those of other races, parties, classes, religions, cultures, regions or nations as to make him ruthless in his use of deceit or violence to attain his ends. The supreme god of a fascist, to which his ends are directed, may be money or power; may be a race or a class; may be a military, clique or an economic group; or may be a culture, religion, or a political party."

This is just how they rebooted the Christian religion as a corporate friendly jingoistic state cult for the masses. Now they're rewriting the rest of American history to place corporatism front and center.

Sensible realists say: "We're nowhere near Fascism in this country."

Yeah right. If you're a sensible realist, you're probably either a tool or just asleep at the wheel.
